Pusherman — Curtis Mayfield
Chords and lyrics for Pusherman by Curtis Mayfield (key of E).
Verse 1
The chords are played in a syncopated rhythm, giving it that distinctive
funk feel.
Remember, the key to this song is not just the chords but also the groove
and feel.
Pay attention to the rhythm and how it interacts with the lyrics.
It might take some practice to get the syncopation and feel right,
but once you do, it's incredibly satisfying.
(F#m7: Add in the 9th (G#) for a funky sound.)
